So we have a final diagnosis. Our baby is a precious little girl. They are almost positive she has Turners Syndrome with a lot of swelling around her entire body. There is a very large Cystic Hygroma that goes around the back of the neck and is around where the ears are. Turners Syndrome in itself is not fatal, the prognosis is only so bad due to the swelling and the pressure it is putting on her organs and heart. We saw her tiny little hands and feet and everything else is perfect except for the swelling and the Hygroma. We are going back later today so they can do a fetal echocardiogram on her heart to see if there are any defects. We seen the Genetic Counselor and they are expecting her to pass away in utero or she may survive this. Based on all the facts we cannot make the decision to terminate. There are cases of the Hygroma going away and so we will have very frequent ultrasounds to monitor her and see if it gets any better. We are not giving up on our baby girl Thank you for the prayers and kind thoughts and we will need them in the days to come. We are strong and will stay strong for her.
